Through my experience I have worked specifically with sexual abuse and assault, domestic abuse and working with the first responders to these issues.
As a First Responder Victim Witness Specialist, working side by side with LEOs,EMS,Fire and coroners from on scene moments of crisis through the adjudication process and beyond. In my years in this experience I have acquired an understanding of the unique stressors that not only victims of crime face but also the first responders. Vicarious trauma can have a lasting impact on these lives and the lives of their families often leading to PTSD, Addiction, Relationship/Maritial difficulties and many other stressors. It is my passion to see less suffering and suicide in the First Response family as well as Military.

I have done extensive work with victims of domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, depression, anxiety caregiving, (especially to those caring for others with dementia), marital issues and spiritual questions.
For the last 23 years I have been a Biblical Counselor and trainer in a local church in the Antelope Valley of Southern California. My cliental was largely Christian in their outlook and practice but I also valued and enjoyed my time spent with many people without a specific faith tradition. Spirituality is an important aspect of our identity, and I am qualified by education and experience to integrate Biblical values into the counseling relationship, but my practice has never been exclusively Christian. Depression, anxiety, grief, marital issues and life transitions effect all of us.

Many things assault our abilities to cope.
There are reasons we think or feel the way we do; sometimes feeling insane is a sign that the life we are living is insane. And sometimes, it's been going on for generations. Getting "over it" isn't the goal; understanding and making peace with it is--most of us have the ability to learn new ways of coping. Reaching out for help isn't weak, it is a strength. Learn how to live rather than simply existing.

Teenagers have their own set of struggles including peer pressure, self esteem issues, depression and anxiety. Their hormones are changing as are their bodies and can be a very tough time. Most children under age 6 can't put into words how they're feeling so play therapy is the best way to help them work through their feelings, which I utilize. It's also very important that parents have the skills to help their children through these tough times and I use Love and Logic parenting to help parents learn skills that help everyone in the family.

Sexual Abuse Therapists

How do therapists treat sexual abuse?

A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.

Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?

Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.

How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?

Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.

Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?

As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
